#2 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh stormed into world cricket as a superstar with his match-winning knock of 84 against Australia in his debut game, which was played in the ICC Champions Trophy in the year 2000.
Yuvraj is one of the greatest match-winners in the history of Indian cricket, and his heroic performance in the 2011 World Cup will never be forgotten. In his ODI career, Yuvraj managed to score 8701 runs at a good average of 36.56 and a solid strike rate of 87.
After the famous World Cup win, Yuvraj stayed away from cricket for almost 20 months due to cancer, and could never stamp his authority again in the game. His poor show in the 2014 T20 World Cup final earned immense criticism and he was dropped from the Indian side.
He made a tremendous comeback in the year 2017, scoring a brilliant 150 against England. Unfortunately though, he could not perform consistently with the bat and was never reconsidered for selection after the West Indies tour in 2017.
Despite his immaculate hand-eye coordination and extraordinary skills, the left-hander failed to end his career on a high note.
